The boy’s mother, Latrease Shaw, thanked the mother-son pair in a Facebook post.

"I am so thankful with tears in my eyes how awesome God is he had them on duty that day if you are a believer and a parent you surely will understand my praise," she said.

In return, Heard posted, “Latrease Shaw you are an amazing mother of 4 awesome kids and whatever you need to help you get through this time we are still here for you!!”

Colbi had some wise words of his own to share: “Take care of the people you don’t know, but it’s always a responsibility if someone doesn’t see them, you should just help them even though you don’t know them.”
